The IC-M423G is an enhanced version of the IC-M423 fixed mount VHF/DSC with some new enhancements including an integrated GPS Receiver which allows current position and time to be used for DSC calls. This new radio also has a striking new white backlight LCD which improves visibility, along with a smart looking new HM-205B Speaker-microphone which has a large 45mm diameter speaker.
The IC-M423G has an easy to use interface which is featured on the latest Icom marine radios. The common Icom Marine Family User Interface provides simple operation for the boat owner. A rotary selector and directional keypad provides intuitive operation.
The IC-M423G also features Icom's Active Noise Cancelling Technology which reduces background noise by up to 90% making you heard when you really need to such as when the weather conditions are poor or if engines are running.
The IC-M423G can itself be remotely controlled by an optional HM-195G COMMANDMIC which has also had a similar make over, incorporating the all new white backlight LCD and laser-cut keypad. The HM-195G allows operation of all radio functions including DSC, radio, foghorn, hailer horn from the cockpit or fly bridge. The HM-195G also provides an intercom facility between itself and the main set for full dual station control.
The IC-M423G and HM-195G will both be available from Icom stockists at the start of the season.
